MSRP 200.00Description: Silence the world around you with the MDR-NC60 noise canceling headphones. They provide 16.5dB noise reduction at 200Hz. This means you can shut out up to 85% of the ambient noise around you, including jet engines, office printers and subway chatter. These headphones are perfect for work, traveling or just when you're trying to sleep in a loud place. The ear-conscious design offers premium comfort, so you can wear them for long stretches without pinching your ears. For added convenience, the built-in monitor switch lets you hear surrounding sound without taking off the headphones.

Bottom Line:

Too expensive for casual listeners and too bad sound for audiophiles. There are much better choices out there.
I bought them 18 months ago and have virtually only used them on aeroplanes, because their sound is outperformed by any other headphones when you don't need noise cancelling. And when it's noisy outside, they work but don't cancel as much noise as you would expect. Sennheiser's CX300 will be almost as good for a little fraction of the price. If you want really good noise cancelling you have to spend much more money which I would say is not worth it either. Better fly business class and have them borrowed from the airline.
